Pro Con Inc progressing at West Street Hotel on Bar Harbor Waterfront
Construction is progressing at the West Street Hotel, a new boutique hotel over looking the waterfront and near the Bar Harbor Town Dock. The developer and owner of the property is West Street Properties LLC. Pro Con Inc is the architect and construction manager for the mixed-use development that will include the hotel, retail space and restaurants.
West Street Hotel's location along the waterfront offers views of the harbor and is in walking distance to the downtown. All of the hotel's 102 guestrooms will feature water views and individual balconies. The hotel's public spaces will include tile floors, granite countertops and custom millwork. Plans call for the hotel to include a restaurant, roof top pool, and a fitness room. The development will have ground level retail spaces available for future commercial tenants.
"The exterior siding, brick façade and windows are currently being installed," said the project manager for Pro Con Inc. "The roof installation is underway and we expect the hotel to be weather tight before the winter weather sets in."
